just got pulled over for retarded reason

[ILoveMPower]

Okay, here's the deal. You cruise in the right lane - TRAVEL lane - at all times. If you are coming up to a car or group of cars you would like to pass, you switch lanes and pass them, and immediately go back into the travel lane. Even if you see another car to pass a half mile ahead. You broked teh l4wz. Sorry.

AZ has to have the dumbest drivers i've ever seen. EVERY time is see somebody going to pass another car they will almost floor it to get ahead of them but as soon as they are an inch infront they slow down to the same speed and create a fuckin roadblock. this seriously happens at least 5 times in the couple mile drive to my school be it on the highway or city streets, its like they are scared to be behind another car or to pass them move back over cause they all end up going the same speed anyway...

Get a life.

Why? He's right. It's frustrating for people who drive on the interstate often.

I been driving for about 5 years now and have not seen a sign that said left lane is for passing or whateve. Only signs I see is slower traffic keep to right.

Georgia is "Keep Right Except To Pass". Florida is "Slower Traffic Keep Right".

I generally stay in the left lane all the time, but the second I see someone catching up to me and wanting to pass, I move over to let them by.

Does it mean you are glancing at your rear view mirror every second? If not, you should move to the right lane. ;)

I think i saw you the other day in GH

you probably did,,, where abouts??

I generally stay in the left lane all the time, but the second I see someone catching up to me and wanting to pass, I move over to let them by. But when no one is around, I like to be in that lane as it gives you more options to swerve to avoid things in the road or other cars if needed. Being on the far right doesn't give you a whole lot of options when there is a gravel drop off or guard rail.

But yeah, I HATE people who drive slow in the left lane. Then they get all pissed when you pass them in the right lane.

The guy seems like he was fairly nice and doing society a favor, if he had been a dick and you were indeed going faster than everyone and it was raining he could have given you a ticket for driving faster than the conditions permit.

i agree.. all he was doing was his job

[e30:)]

The idea here is that you didn't know that what you were doing was illegal, but as a direct consequence of that stop; now you know. The fact that it was 7.30 in the morning probably saved you from the ticket because he was trying to teach you a lesson. From what it sounds like, you will be more mindful of the rules next time you drive, meaning it worked.

more following the rules --> fewer mvcs --> fewer mvc deaths = not retarded

correct, i guess it wasnt as retarded as i though. and i wasnt saying it was a retarded law or ranting that i own the left lane or whatever some d bags think im saying. ... its retarded i got pulled over for this, I should have known better;-)

Because guys like you are the reason why American highways suck. They're full of selfish, arrogant boors who are ignorant of the most basic rules of civilization.

Get a life.
